  • Southern Hospitality and ADHD with Emmy Sharrett
    May 2 2025

    Emmy Sharrett is a rising star and bonafide Bravoleb, who you might know from Bravo's "Southern Hospitality".


    With three seasons now under her belt, Emmy has had to face the reality tv gauntlet, with unique highs and intense lows.


    She faced more than most, with her relationship with partner Will Kulp under constant scrutiny, and her co-stars accused of fabricating elaborate schemes to bring their relationship down.


    Emmy had some pretty iconic scenes in Season 3 as far as reality tv goes, which were often a direct result of her raw emotion and overwhelm.


    But what we didn't know at the time, was that bubbling away underneath all of her reactions, was actually a lifelong diagnosis of ADHD and sensory processing challenges. Both of which can cause an intense experience of overstimulation - and as we saw, some big reactions.


    In this episode, Emmy goes deep into her life with a neurodivergent brain, the challenges she faced at her various schools across the world and throughout her life, and how she has learned to manage it through the decades. She has great advice for parents of kids with ADHD and shares her thoughts on the medication debate.


    You'll also hear Emmy's insights into the show, her behaviour, her castmates and her thriving relationship with Will.


    Whether you're a Bravo fan or are curious to learn more about the experience of ADHD , then this episode is for you!

  • Erika Cramer - The Queen of Confidence
    Apr 15 2025

    In this electric episode, I sit down with The Queen of Confidence herself—Erika Cramer.


    From a childhood in foster care, to surviving abuse, a lifechanging injury and losing her husband in a tragic accident. Yes, all of this in one lifetime. Rebuilding her life from scratch in Australia, Erika’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.


    Now a powerhouse speaker, coach, and bestselling author, Erika shares the raw truth behind her new book Becoming Magnetic—a guide to healing your past, owning your story, and stepping into the kind of confidence that pulls people toward you.


    We talked about:

    • The turning points that reshaped her identity

    • What it really means to be magnetic (hint: it’s not what you think)

    • How she moved through immeasurable grief, trauma and fear

    • Her favorite tools for self-trust and confidence building

    • Why sharing your story can be your biggest superpower


    Erika is bold, unfiltered, and full of heart. And this conversation is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

  • Master Your Relationship Anxiety with Georgie Collinson
    Apr 8 2025

    Georgie Collinson is one of Australia’s leading anxietyexperts who has turned her lens to relationships. Anxiety is such a common experience and affliction for so many of us, but did you know that it can turn up and disrupt our romantic relationships too?

    Don’t be afraid though, Georgie has created a beautiful roadmap out of some of the most common ways we might sabotage, repeat patterns or even choose the same (wrong) person over and over again.

    We shared some laughs over the terrible relationshipchoices we have both made over the years and as you’ll hear, Georgie shared some of her childhood and lifechanging moments, that have lead her to her happy place today.

    This episode is all about taking control of the things thatwe can - and letting go of what we can’t.

    You can read all about it in her new book Master YourRelationship Anxiety, find her on Instagram at @georgiethenaturopath or via herwebsite at www.georgiecollinson.com
